SUMMARY:Rising from the Rubble: Creating the Museum of the History of Polish Jews
DESCRIPTION:Title:  Rising from the Rubble: Creating the Museum of the History of Polish Jews \nPresenter:  Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett (Chief Curator\, Core Exhibition\, POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews; University Professor Emerita and Professor Emerita  of Performance Studies\, New York University) \nDate:  Wednesday\, January 13 \nTime:  5:30 pm \nLocation:  University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium \nFacing the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes on the site of the Warsaw ghetto and prewar Jewish neighborhood\, POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews completes the memorial complex.  At the monument\, we honor those who died by remembering how they died.  At the museum\, we honor them – and those who came before and after – by remembering how they lived.  Since POLIN Museum opened in April 2013\, almost a million visitors have passed through its doors.  This lecture explores the creation of the museum and its multimedia narrative exhibition\, a journey of a thousand years\, and its potential to be an agent of transformation that can move an entire society forward. \nKirshenblatt-Gimblett flyer

SUMMARY:German Studies Colloquium - January 15
DESCRIPTION:Alice Goff \n(German/History/Society of Fellows) \n“Stepping onto the Pedestal: The Silence of Art in Napoleonic Prussia” \nFriday\, January 15\, 2pm  \n3308 MLB \nAlice Goff is a historian of German cultural and intellectual life in the modern period. Her research and teaching focus on the history of museums\, aesthetics\, and the relationships between material objects and political thought in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As a post-doctoral fellow with the Michigan Society of Fellows\, she holds appointments in the departments of Germanic Languages and Literatures and History. \nAlice is currently at work on a book project with the working title\, “The God Behind the Marble: Transcendence and the Art Object in the German Aesthetic State.” It tells the story of artworks caught up in the looting\, iconoclasm\, and shifting boundaries of German states during the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars and the consequences of their displacement for German political\, religious\, and intellectual practice at the beginning of the nineteenth century. By examining the development of private collections\, public museums\, and church treasuries\, this work examines the frictions that arose between the precarious fates of artworks on the ground and the assertions of art’s ideal autonomy in philosophy and criticism. Alice’s second book project takes up the history of German baroque royal collections–Kunstkammer– in the cultural politics and practices of the German Democratic Republic. \nAlice received her PhD in History from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2015. Her work has been supported by the Council for Library and Information Resources\, the DAAD\, and the Mabelle McLeod Lewis Foundation. \nFor inquiries or questions\, please contact moltke@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Where the Sacred and the Secular Meet:  The Politics of Display at a Monastery Museum in Ladakh\, India
DESCRIPTION:Removed from the sanctified spaces of temples and shrines\, and relocated to the secular sphere of museum galleries\, Buddhist objects are transformed from icons to artifacts\, from images to artworks. Within their new exhibition context\, new meanings and values are imposed on these objects based on the authority of the museum and the principles of research and education that it embodies.  But what if the museum is located within the sanctified space of a Buddhist monastery? How are the boundaries between art and relic\, aesthetic work and empowered icon\, scholarly authority and religious belief negotiated in these hybrid spaces? Who is the intended audience and what is the intended mission of a monastic museum? \nIn this presentation\, I will share my recent fieldwork at a museum project at Chemrey Monastery in Ladakh\, a Tibetan Buddhist region located in the western Himalayas of India. The proposed reconceptualization of an existing museum at this monastery has revealed the potential implications of wielding cultural preservation to respond to the growth of tourism and the expansion of modernization. Chemrey’s monastic museum offers a compelling case study for illuminating the widespread forces of change at play in the western Himalayas regarding the treatment and understanding of sacred art and local heritage\, and understanding the powerful resolution offered by the museum medium. \nBrownBag_Bloom
